It looks better on the car in your pic than it does with what the vendor posted up as a pic.
I just ended up pulling my rear lower part of the bumper off and got the small 2 piece's painted from the vendor in here for about 400.00 where it has 2 for each side on the car..Robert

Thanks for the feedback guys! We build everything from aluminum to handle track abuse, keep it light and 3 times cheaper than carbon fiber. http://www.difflow.com/corvettec7diffuser.html
Also, the Difflow diffuser is seen on the "World's fastest Z06."
No diffuser will do anything until you're well north of 100 mph. If it's designed right you'll get additional downforce at very high speeds. At lower speeds it's purely for looks.
I am not sold on any diffuser whose fins are very thin. If you look at any well made factory diffuser for any AMG/M/GTR etc. the fins are fairly thick.
The diffuser might also need to curve at the either end to conform to the shape of the rear bumper of the C7.

The thinner, the better. A thicker fin = more drag. AMG/M are into how the rear looks cometically and catering to a different client than somebody who tracks their car.

Partically correct. Most diffusers start working at highway speeds depending on the aggression of the diffuser.

It looks great, but does it do anything?
Traction - Slightly, but the correct term would be downforce. Diffusers are for reducing drag and assisting in downforce. Just adding fins to a rear valance will provide a minimal effect. A proper underbody / tray is needed to catch the air, seal up obstructions under the car and channel air through the fins.
Cooling - We have this diffuser on track cars everywhere, including the 1200+ HP Z06 owned by Skip Harmon and he's running 9 second quarter mile times with no heat issues. We also drove a Z51 with our diffuser from CA to MT, no issues with heat/cooling what-so-ever.
Ride - Diffusers don't impact the ride other than increasing stability at high speeds.

So you are telling me a company that makes aftermarket bolt-ons for a Corvette knows more about aerodynamics and airflow engineering than AMG or BMW-M? hmmm kay....
Not doubting your engineering prowess, but you just dissed two of the best automotive engineering shops. Not a smart move.
xxaarra if you dont like it, dont comment no one asked for your opinion.
please troll some where else,

What he said is spot on. So, it's you that's questioning who knows more, not him. Go read a book about aerodynamics and then come discuss it intelligently.

We don't just make "bolt-ons" for corvette, we make functional diffusers for Lotus, GT-R, NSX, Noble, etc and have been doing that for years.
If you stick your hand out the window of your car on the highway... you can do 2 things:
1) Let your palm face the wind. What happens? Your arm gets thrown backwards from the wind hitting it.
2) Let your palm face the ground with your fingertips in the wind. What happens? Your hand stays stationary, and even glides forward.
Your palm facing the wind = a thicker diffuser fin.
Your palm facing the ground/fingertips forward = a thinner diffuser fin.
